[quote=Anonymous]You're describing my son in 1st grade (although he had a better time w/ making friends, the academic approach - No Child at the time) made him extremely anxious. He cried daily.

We switched to Wash.Waldorf years ago. He still cried sometimes - he's just the sensitive kid that will experience that anxiety. But they worked with him and understand him and gave him classroom jobs that went to his skills and built his confidence. I could go on but long story short I'm grateful every day. He's in middle school @ WWS now and we're happy.

Financial aid: Waldorf's mission is to make its education as affordable as possible to families. It offers financial aid in the 90% in the DC area for number of total students receiving aid. Also the tuition is in the lowest quartile. So there's a good chance you'd qualify for some aid.

One note:  All private schools raise funds through annual giving. That's in addition to the stated tuition (minus financial aid). But because they are non-profit organizations it allows you to write it off as a tax break. I was a public school kid and put myself through state school and had no idea about this aspect of private schools. [/quote]
